[QUOTE="MAM nee MAB, post: 2114234, member: 151629"] I was diagnosed 5 years ago, age 57 ...no symptoms ... found during routine blood test! Was not overweight and had a reasonably balanced diet. Metformin just made me ill ... lost 1.5 stone in 3 months. Have been on dipagliflozin for 4 years but Hb1ac now creeping up ... 8.3 last two tests. Tried carb counting, trying to keep under 130g a day, upped protein and fats so as not to lose more weight ... only 8 stone now. Blood sugars still high, so requested an appointment at diabetic centre, as had only seen GP or practise nurse. So went to clinic last Monday and have been told its NOT Type 2, but late on-set Type 1. Have started aloglyptin as well as the dipagliflozin. 5 days in, not seeing any change but guess I need to give it a chance. If after 3 months Hb1ac is not coming down, gliclacide is the next move, but ultimately, insulin. I am just relieved to get an answer and pleased that it's not my mis-management of my "Type 2". AND, I have always said that if Im never diagnosed with anything worse, I'm ok with that! [/QUOTE]
